The Gift

Image
' God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.   Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.' Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) Christ is the Ultimate Gift to me from God. God is the best Gift Giver. Through Christ, God has given me eternal life, and not only that, but faith, the works of Christ and even Christ himself when I believed. I serve a very generous God. He has saved me through Grace of His Spirit. God is for me. I have His favor, He delights in me and it is free. He knew me and Loved me even before I knew Him. Nothing I have done has earned it. Flesh is evil and boasts, but God is everything! He puts His Will to do good in me.  His favor is upon me. His inheritance is before me. He provides the Way. Dear Father Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for Your Spirit. Thank you that You have made me aware of the fact that I needed You. You are a good Father,...

Law and Order

Image
' The Holy Spirit produces a different kind of fruit: unconditional love, joy, peace, patience, kindheartedness, goodness, faithfulness , gentleness, and self-control. You won’t find any law opposed to fruit like this.' Galatians 5:22-23 (VOICE It's so easy to fall victim to the vices of sin, a sprinkle of poison for flavor soon enough becomes a downpour. It trips you up. You become a slave to your own habits and addictions. You prefer lawlessness. You are weak. Life is a struggle. That's no excuse. Just admit that you are. God is the Lawgiver and laws are what keep you healthy and safe. God has given you a law and even given you a way that leads you out of bondage through His powerful Holy Spirit. When you invite Jesus and the Spirit into your heart then sin's darkness will fade and the Light of Life will invade.  You know what you ought to do. You just fail to do it. Easier said than done. There is hope. Law and order is so much better for you. P...

Becoming the Butterfly

Image
' Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. ' 2 Corinthians 5:17 (TPT) The Gospel message seems too deep to comprehend at times, and yet we are to reason together with God as to the higher order of spiritual things. This is one of those times. So, start with the basics. And yet, this much I know. for sure, that once I was lost and now I am found. I know that to be enfolded into Christ, is to be united to Him in faith, or to be in Him as the branch is to the vine.That does not seem reasonable to some but that doesn't make it untrue. That does not seem unreasonable to some but that does not make it any easier to understand. Why do I do the things that I do? Why do I say the things that I say? I am no longer my own.       'and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live ...

Preach the Word

Image
  ' To preach the message of the cross seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are on our way to salvation, it is the mighty power of God released within us.' 1 Corinthians 1:18 (TPT   Brilliance. God's very own plan to save the world. Ignorance. Man's way that leads to destruction.   In the beginning, the Word was with God, the Word was God. The Word that goes forth from His Preachers seems like foolishness to the masses who are on the road to destruction, hell bent to leaning on the word of the Pharisees. The Word that goes forth from His Preachers is Good News and sheer brilliance to the wise and one that leads to Salvation and Joy. The Word incarnate was Jesus.   Jesus lives. He lived and willingly went to the Cross. The Cross is where He leads me. The Word, the mighty power of God was released over the whole world to change hearts and even my own!   Hallelujah! Praise God! Preach the Word! The Good ...

I Need Your Glory

The Day of Awakening

Image
'But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces — even to the remotest places on earth!” ' Acts 1:8 (TPT) It is enough isn't it? The information that we are given in God's Word and through His Prophets is all that we need for the moment. That message is clear, you are to become messengers to tell everyone of the miracles that you have seen through the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. It is enough that you are given power to get you through the trials and temptations that come. You are given enough power to serve others on earth as Christ hears your concerns while you pray and manages your mission from heaven. It is enough to know that Christ is coming again and that should be enough to awaken your soul. In Him you will find comfort. In His Word and promises you will find your Joy. He is Love. In Him there is pe...
